About TraneThermal

Precision climate engineering since 1998. From a specialized chiller manufacturer to a global HVAC systems integrator serving 72 countries.

TraneThermal manufacturing facility

Engineering Excellence Since 1998

TraneThermal was founded in Milwaukee, WI by a team of refrigeration engineers who believed that HVAC systems should be designed for real-world operating conditions, not just nameplate ratings. That philosophy drove us to pioneer variable-speed compressor applications in commercial chillers when the industry was still debating fixed-speed vs. two-stage.

Today, with 1,450 employees across 5 manufacturing plants and 45 service centers, we deliver complete thermal management solutions to some of the world's most demanding environments: hyperscale data centers, GMP pharmaceutical facilities, and cold chain logistics networks spanning six continents.
